Additional Nutrigenomics Offerings: I also offer Nutrition Counseling using other genetic reports that examine a more extensive profile of genes. If you are interested, please contact me for more information.

More About Nutrigenomics

From Dietitians in Integrative and Functional Medicine, of which I am a member:

“As genetic science moves forward with lightning-fast speed, researchers have begun to understand that while certain individuals have genetic predispositions to developing certain diseases, the diseases may not actually occur.

Why do some genetically-predisposed people get sick, while others do not?

In many cases, some component of diet triggers, enhances, or suppresses certain gene interactions.

Some dietary factors lead to increased protection from disease in susceptible individuals, while other dietary factors lead to increased risk of disease.

Nutrigenomics concentrates on the impact of diet and lifestyle factors, such as food, nutrition, stress, and toxins on gene expression.”

Nutrigenomics is in Its Infancy

It is estimated by the Human Genome Project that there are about 20,000 protein coding genes, most of which we understand very little or nothing about.

With further development of science and research, the number of genes we can nutritionally support for enhanced health continues to grow.
